Hey Miranda🥰 another Beautiful Aesthetic Video… I watched this video while.,,,, drum roll!!! Drinking some Pumpkin Spice Tea, I have a piece of paper 📄 on my wall by the door with a piece of painters tape, with my Christmas list of books 😂😂 and it’s getting longer..”THE MAGIC HOUR” could have been about anything because the cover is so BEAUTIFUL it’s going on the list..I really like Rumer Godden, one of my favorite picture books (from your recommendations 🤦🏾♀️) I think 🤔 I literally almost filled a bookshelf from choosing books from your recommendations, since I started watching your channel…😂 like I was saying “Holly & Ivy” is the book by Rumer Godden that I LOVE 💕… tell Donna I said hello❤️, and thank you for choosing an Epistolary Style novel for the next Comfort Book Club Read…I hope you notice “Epistolary” 😉🤷🏾♀️… I’m really becoming a serious Bibliophile and Bookworm…🥰.. “autumnal” got me a few eye rolls “Epistolary” just may have me with an empty contact list on my phone 😂😂😂
That Rumer Godden is such a wonderful Christmas read! I love the sound of Pumpkin Spice Tea - so seasonal! 😁😁😁
Hi Miranda I'm a new subscriber to your channel and am catching up on all your videos with you and your mum which I absolutely love.i have just taken down Nigel slaters Christmas chronicles from my shelf. From the videos I have watched so far I know you are a big jane Austen fan and I came across a recent book jane Austen's table by Robert Tuesley Anderson I'm sure you probably know it but I can see you and your mum having tea and chats over lady Catherine de Bourghs caraway and raisin breakfast bread . Much love to you both x
Thank you for the kind words and the recommendation! Yes, a very big Janeite 😊
Love those owls! I have The Magic Hour thanks to your previous recommendation. It quickly became one of my favorites - and that gorgeous cover! Thank you for your videos and recommendations. I thoroughly enjoy every ‘visit’.
Thank you so much! It's a great anthology, so glad you're loving it too!
Passing is such an incredible book. Can't wait to see it on screen too. Happy readings for you ♡
I really want to get the Nigel Christmas book! I have another one of his and absolutely love it. Probably my favorite Christmas cookbooks are Nigella and Delia - soooo cozy!
You can't go wrong with Nigella and Delia I always think! The Christmas Chronicles is wonderful as well.
Because of you, I have been enjoying seasonal reading for the first time in my life, so decided to reread Vera Brittan's Testament of Youth this month, and will look into some of your other suggestions.
Testament of Youth is such a moving memoir and a wonderful choice for this month. Thank you!
Thank you Miranda, So many wonderful books here. I’m actually going to read The 13th tale as a buddy read next month. And also thank you for all of a kind family. I’m a Jewish grandmother, well a Puerto Rican one too, and I want to read this and give it to my granddaughter. The comfort book club sounds wonderful. As a lifelong reader at age 71, I want to read happier books more than unhappy ones. And I started my channel because I didn’t see many women my age on book tube and I didn’t hear of that many books about old women and I wanted to change that. Passing was my favorite book of last year.We don’t have a real winter in Hawaii but we have Santa Claus on a surfboard and many Hawaiian songs. Aloha
Miranda what a wonderful treat,I am so glad your were able to get this video to load. So many interesting books to add to my tbr pile and old friends to reread.I read Loss when it was first published and it has stayed with meI still remember the scene where her treasured violin was stolen.Of course The Diary Of a Provincial Lady is on my nightstand waiting for me to visit again.Happy November to you and you Mom.
Thank you, Rhonda!
Another lovely video! I am reading an L.M. Montgomery and The Diary of a Provincial Lady. I am going to add Advent and the Christmas Chronicles to muy wishlist!
Great choices!
Howdy Miranda 👋 I'm enjoying your book content 📚
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed this so much! Your videos and timely book recommendations help make autumn that much cozier! Nothing like curling up with a good book on a crisp autumn evening! Hope you enjoyed your cozy reading time! 🍁🥰📚
Im reading Diary of a Provincial Lady for The Comfort Book Club👍😀 and must finally read The Thirteenth Tale as I’ve heard so many good things about it for so long. I’m fascinated by Min Kym’s Gone. As a pianist and someone for whom music is as central to life as books, losing my piano would be like having my right arm cut off (and I’m an amateur) so I’m really interested to read how she dealt with the loss of her violin. Thanks for the recommendations😀👍
So glad you're enjoying them, Ruth! I truly love Gone and think it should be better known. It's such a moving memoir.
I had to add I read Passing many years ago and loved it. And also A Fugue in Time, which I read right after China Court in September. That will be reread in the future I’m positive 💕
So many wonderful recommendations! One of my favorites for this time of year is Dorothy Sayers Gaudy Night. I love her books anyway and always, but I believe Gaudy Night is my favorite. I’ll be reading The Diary of a Provincial Lady as well. Thank you Miranda for another heartwarming video.
My favorite D.L.S. mystery also!
The Christmas Chronicles sounds fantastic! I am looking forward to finish reading The Provincial Lady in November, so funny and cozy🤗
It’s a terrific read for this time of year! So glad you’re enjoying Diary of a PL xxx
Always enjoy your videos. When you showed The Thirteenth Tale, I remembered I'd found a pre loved copy a few years ago and had it on my TBR bookshelf. I'm reading it now! Also reading The Diary of a Provincial Lady. Sending best wishes from Tasmania.
That's great! Thanks so much!
All of these sound wonderful. I'm especially intrigued by Min Kym's Gone, and Nella Larsen's Passing has just bumped itself to the top of my bedside tower. I finished The Love Child a few days ago, and it's still haunting me. In the U.S. we turn our clocks back tonight. I'm gleeful at the thought of an extra hour for reading. How to choose, though? I'm currently reading A Diary of a Provincial Lady, which is great fun, and Heather Clark's Red Comet, which is a breath of fresh air compared to earlier Plath biographies. I'm also enjoying dipping in and out of Loss, the short story anthology by Victoria Hislop that you recently recommended. It's a real treat rereading favorite authors and discovering new ones. And another of your recommendations, Marc Hamer's Seed to Dust, is such a soothing way to begin each month. Every time I pick it up I fall in love with its book jacket all over again. You introduced me to the joy of seasonal reading--thank you! 🍁 🧡
So happy to read this! Thank you for the kind words! x
Thank you Miranda. All the selections look lovely. I decided to read A Fugue In Time and ordered from Blackwell’s. They have the best prices and I love getting mail from the Uk❤️
Wonderful! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Love your channel, opening new books for me to read, being that I love books.
It is warming up here in Australia but the weather has been rainy and I have been drawn to nostalgic reads so far this month. I have read Anne’s House of Dreams, The School at the Chalet (ordered a second hand bind up of the first two books and loved this first), Apricots at Midnight by Adele Veras which was a book I borrowed from the library as a child and couldn’t find until recently, The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge and Heidi’s Children which I also read as a child and found a second hand copy recently. I loved The Thirteenth Tale when I read it years ago.
So many favourites of mine too. I have that Adele Geras on my shelf as well. It's such a lovely book.
As always, so many fantastic recommendations Miranda. I’ve just started Diary of a Provincial Lady - loving it! I have Christmas Chronicles on Audible which is narrated by Nigel Slater and is wonderful. I think it would be good to have the book to dip in and out of so have decided to treat myself!
That sounds a perfect combination! Enjoy, Lucy!
Love The Thirteenth Tale! Great to be reminded of it, I must re-read it! I have already bought several copies of Advent (including one for myself 😊) to give to friends at Christmas , it is so beautiful, I love everything about it. Thanks for a super video as always Miranda. Have a lovely Sunday x
Thanks so much, Penny! Advent would be a lovely Christmas gift I'm sure. x
I read The Thirteenth Tale several years ago and I did really enjoy it. I may read it again. Have you read the book that Diane Setterfield wrote next? If so, what did you think? Wishing you and your mom a great November.
You too, Crystal! I found Once Upon a River disappointing and, sadly, didn't enjoy it very much compared to The Thirteenth Tale. Hope your November is going well!
I can’t wait to try all your book recommendations for November. I’ve read passing and loved it.Thank you Miranda and enjoy your weekend.
Loved this Miranda, there are a few I’d like to get especially the Nigel Slater one, after being on my list for ever!! Happy November, it’s a great month for me, although this year it didn’t start in the best way, I’m looking forward to celebrate my daughter’s birthday on Sunday. 🎂
I love your recommendations as they are always quite diverse and I particularly like that you showcase poetry. Due to following you on CZcams I now read quite a lot of poetry. I plan to buy three books from this video and already own three others that you talked about.
Love that I've inspired you to read poetry more regularly - so happy you enjoyed the recommendations!
Diary of a Provincial Lady is so good! So, in a totally different way, is Passing. Thirteenth Tale was good too. Enjoy.
Yes, all great favourites!
I'm always tempted to getting the books you recommend. One of my favorites is The Thirteenth Tale. I need to read it again. Rumer Goddens book sounds really good. Also Julien Grenfell. Good grief. I'm in big trouble again. 😂📚Thank you. 👍💕p.s. I absolutely loved the Diary of a provincial lady, so much so I went ahead and bought some more of her books. Crimany. 😊
So glad you're enjoying the Provincial Lady!
I enjoyed every minute of your presentation. Thank you very much.
I’m so glad! Thank you xxx
I'm very tempted by The Christmas Chronicles! I really don't enjoy the winter, so think I would appreciate hearing from someone who does! I'm also looking forward to watching Passing. I read the book earlier this year thought it was a great read. Thanks for a lovely video Miranda.
I so recommend The Christmas Chronicles, Emma! It's such a wonderful read, and like I say, the book definitely helped me to appreciate winter more. I do think the Passing trailer looks good so hope it does the book justice! xxx
Fantastic recommendation video, thank you Miranda, and happy November to you too! xxx
Thanks so much ❤️
Hello Miranda! Thank you for these great selection of books. Have a nice weekend. Cheers!
You're welcome, Julia! x
Thank you for these wonderful recommendations, Miranda! I re-read The Christmas Chronicles every year too; also Jeanette Winterson's collection Christmas Days, which includes some terrifying ghost stories.
Thanks so much for the Nella Larsen mention. Excellent film on Netflix
There’s a picture book (beautifully illustrated) All of a Kind Family Hannukah for younger children who wouldn’t be up to the chapter book version.
Great to know! Thank you!
Thank you for all the wonderful recommendations! I love the sound of “Advent” especially. You reminded me how much I loved “The Thirteenth Tale”, which I haven’t read for years, I think I’ll be getting it off the shelf soon! I’ve just finished “The Postscript Murders” and “The Stranger Diaries”, read on your recommendation, and I couldn’t put them down! I don’t read a lot of contemporary crime books but I loved these.
So glad you enjoyed those books, Naomi! I don’t read a lot of modern crime, so I’m always happy to discover a series I like! Definitely recommend Advent 💫
Thanks again for a great list of recommendations to check out! I’m excited to pick up a copy of Advent. I’m a quarter German so Christmas has always been filled with German bakes and treats and yet I’ve never made my own which seems crazy! I’m also revisiting Nigel slaters Christmas chronicles which I love! And loving the diary of a provincial lady which has me laughing aloud. Wishing you a wonderful November xx
Thanks so much, Jessica! I’m earmarking lots of yummy sounding recipes in Advent. I do think Germany does Christmas so well!! So glad you’re enjoying Diary of a PL 😊 xxx
I loved such a fun age and passing ! Great recs. :)
Me too! Thank you!
As usual, these all look like great reads for myself and also some that will be perfect gifts for family members. I know that Lucy Maud Montgomery based her character named Walter in Rilla of Ingleside on an actual soldier and poet. I wonder if it was Julian Grenfell? Either way, I look forward to reading the book.
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it! That’s interesting Walter was a poet too. I highly recommend the biography! It’s such a fascinating study of his mother too.
Can you do what’s in my bag video please 🥰
Wish you a wonderful Reading I am Reading my sweet orange tree by José Mauro de Vasconcelos
I love Diary of a Provincial Lady. The audiobook is fantastic as well.
I have just finished Progress of a Crime. It is loosely based on a real crime which I had to investigate further. Not as good as some of the British Crime Library reads but quite interesting as it was written later than most of their books.
Oh that’s interesting!
What a great background! 💕
Thank you, Janet!
